We are faced with difficulties in marketing truthful content
The World Bosniak Congress launched a project to organize the largest online encyclopedia, Wikipedia, within which it gathered a group of enthusiasts who work together to promote the truth about Bosnia and Herzegovina. The group works to publish true, verified and referenced content, in accordance with existing Wikipedia rules, but also to correct a wide range of texts from all areas of life in Bosnia and Herzegovina.

In the past period, several meetings were held, with the aim of familiarizing the group with the existing shortcomings and challenges, which most were not even aware of before. The last in a series of meetings was held on April 15, during which the participants noted a number of problems they face if they want to correct existing Wikipedia content or even publish new ones.
Namely, a large number of existing texts are full of untruths or half-truths, in which the texts about the history of Bosnia and Herzegovina, the Bosnian language, cultural and historical heritage, and events during the period of aggression against Bosnia and Herzegovina are leading the way. For example, the Bosnian language is referred to as "Bosniak", while the term "crime" is used instead of the term "genocide" in certain texts.
The problem faced by those who want to make corrections, for the benefit of current and future generations of our homeland, is that the introduced corrections are simply rejected by a few existing administrators with vague and illogical explanations. Wikipedia administrators who have a significant number of published texts have the option of deleting new content that does not comply with the existing rules of this online encyclopedia.
The corrections and contents of the SBK team are fully in accordance with the existing terms of Wikipedia, which our members were informed about with special care before starting to create user accounts.
We emphasize that SBK gathered a group of educated individuals, who, when writing texts or correcting existing content, strictly adhere to verified and true information contained in the published works of the most famous BiH historians, writers and authors.
And despite the difficulties we face, we will continue to work hard on the fight for the truth, in order to send a clear picture of our homeland, history and all events, and contribute to building a better future for all the inhabitants of BiH. The truth is the foundation of coexistence and mutual tolerance, but also of building a better living environment for all who consider Bosnia and Herzegovina their homeland.
